Important Message:  Agent REO Secrets Teleconference.

From: Tim and Julie Harris. Harris Real Estate University.

Hello,

Tim Harris here.

Just a quick heads-up..

As you may recall we opened the doors for Agent REO Secrets

coaching program a couple weeks ago. We allowed 50 agents to

enroll during that teleconference.

Those 50 spots were grabbed almost instantly.

Unfortunately, that means that many agents were left out..

We received dozens of emails asking for us to provide another

*F-R-E-E* Agent REO Secrets teleseminar...

So, that is exactly what we are doing..

THIS WEDNESDAY August 27th, 2008 you are invited to attend

Agent REO Secrets Teleseminar. (or Webinar)

Go here now for all the call in info:

Important Link---> http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=3946854

This is going to be another fantastic call.

We are interviewing 2 fellow agents who have become REO listing

machines...

1)  An agent from LA who just started listing REOs 3 months ago ...

and he is now taking 4-6 new listings directly from REOs per week.

He is making more money and its taking 50% less time and effort.

2) You won't believe our next agent expert's REO experience...he is

listing 300 homes directly from ONE REO source this week. That is

not a typo...300 listings. You will learn exactly how he is doing

it...we are holding nothing back!

Your spot on this Wednesdays August 27th Agent REO Secrets

teleconference has been reserved. Remember, this teleconference is

*F-R-E-E* to you.

Go to this link now for important call-in information:

Click This Link---> http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=3946854

We only have 270 spots available for this teleconference. We have

had over 800 agents register (as of this morning) and are expecting

all the spots to be gone shortly.

You will want to call in (or log in using the webinar) at least 10

minutes early to be guaranteed your spot.

When you attend the event this Wednesday here are a few of the

things you will learn:

1)  How to contact the lenders...YES...we are giving out names and

numbers of the largest REO companies.

2) We will tell you exactly how to 'present' to the REO companies

so they will want to list their homes with you.

3) You will learn the 3 biggest mistakes you must avoid.

4) How to make money now from BPOs.

On this 90 minute call you will learn our proven step-by-step

process to becoming a REO listing agent. We aren't holding anything

back on this call. Get ready to take pages of great notes.

Here is the best part about these 2 agents...neither had any REO

listings 90 days ago. They applied what they learned from Agent REO

Secrets and are now having their best years ever.

Here is that link again:

Last Chance-----> http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=3946854

One more thing....I know this sounds crazy. Please don't share the

info about this call with other agents. We expect the call to be

completely full.

Speak with you soon!

Tim and Julie Harris

Harris Real Estate University

Are you nuts? You’re missing tomorrow’s…….

by Tim Harris on August 19, 2008

Tomorrow, August 20th is the -FREE– Agent Short Sale Secrets Teleconference.
I’m going to share everything we’ve learned about easily taking
dozens of Short Sale listings

…and getting paid from those listings selling in less than 60 days.

Most (not some, but most) Realtors screw it up….so their
Short Sale listings get slaughtered by the market, and (worse)

….ignored by the lenders even when they do turn in all the bank
required paperwork.

Its no wonder so many fellow agents are confused about how
to easily list and close short sales.

Lets be perfectly clear..we’ve been neck deep in the hazy world of
“Short Sales” for long time. Matter of fact we are the largest online
Short Sale coaching program out there.

….and I am happy to tell you we’ve committed about every
blunder there is to make.

And we learned our lessons.

At this point, our ability to navigate the nasty jungle of Short
Sales is nothing short of amazing. We’ve wrestled every confusing element
to the ground, and made it out slave.

Plus, I’ve been experimenting with souping up the short sale offers
to the lenders with just the right mixture of  ”salesmanship
juice”…so they get devoured

…and accepted by the lenders the first time.

Our students short sale closing rates are just stunning to behold.

Basically what, I’m offering you…..are the secrets of how to
easily and effortlessly list as many short sale properties as you
desire

….and get them closed fast so you get paid.

You will learn how to create “Lender Short Sale Packages” that are
almost bullet-proof as they zoom through the lenders approval
process.

…expertly dodging all the typical Realtor ‘Gottchas’ that often
result in your short sale offer being tossed to the short sale trash heap.

We’re not fooling around here.

This short sale teleconference is not too technical for even raw
rookies….

though, we will save you from being tortured by the minimal
technical stuff you MUST learn to become an expert at this.

You already know that most of  the “Big Kahuna” millionaire Realtors
out there have learned our Short Sale secrets and are cleaning up
from easily taking Short Sale listings

….and getting them closed fast using our proven system.

Now, you don’t need to waste any time trying to figure out the
secrets to closing your Short Sale listings.

We will tell you everything you need to know when you attend the -
f*r*e*e- teleconference today.

Knowing the exact secrets how to List and Sell (and close) Short Sale
Listings is a crucial part of your business. You already know that
most of the homes that are actually closing are short sales

…it’s time that the sold listings (and the paychecks) are yours.

We’ll reveal specific tactics, and make it all as simple as possible…
so your real estate business will be locked-and-loaded for massive
success.

Time’s a-wasting, though. You can’t dink around, or you’ll lose out.

So got to this link right now, while it’s on your mind, and get
Involved:

http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=3786519

Lets be clear about one thing

…..this is a “do it now” opportunity.

So you need to join us tomorrow at 12nn PST, 1pm MNT, 2pm CNT, 3pm PST and learn the exact secrets to becoming a massively successful Short Sale Agent.

U.S. builders broke ground on the fewest new homes in 17 years and producer prices climbed the most since 1981, providing no sign of an economic recovery or easing inflation.

Housing starts fell 11 percent in July to an annual rate of 965,000, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. The Labor Department reported the producer price index jumped 9.8 percent from a year before.

“There’s no doubt we’re in a period of stagflation now,” said Peter Kretzmer, a senior economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York who formerly worked at both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Fed Board in Washington.

Compared with July 2007, work began on 30 percent fewer homes. Building permits, a sign of future construction, also fell in July, the Commerce Department reported. They were down 18 percent to a 937,000 annual pace.

Starts were projected to fall to a 960,000 annual pace, according to the median forecast of 77 economists polled by Bloomberg News. The median estimate for permits was 970,000.

`Pull Back’

“A recovery will not happen this year,” said Russell Price, a senior economist at H&R Block Financial Advisors Inc. in Detroit. “Not only are mortgage rates creeping up, but financing is becoming more difficult for a lot of people. Builders will continue to pull back.”

Construction of single-family homes fell 2.9 percent to a 641,000 rate, the fewest since January 1991, today’s report showed. Work on multifamily homes, such as townhouses and apartment buildings, dropped 24 percent from the prior month to an annual rate of 324,000.

“The news ahead for housing remains bad,” Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at Maria Fiorini Ramirez Inc. in New York, said in a Bloomberg Radio interview. “There’s a corrective process we have to get through here.”

Northeast Sales

The decrease in starts was led by a 30 percent decline in the Northeast. Construction fell 8.2 percent in both the South and West. Starts in the West slumped to a 26-year low. The Midwest showed a 10 percent gain.

The magnitude of the July drop in the Northeast reflected, in part, a payback from an unexpected surge the prior month. Starts and permits jumped in June as builders hurried to break ground ahead of new regulations in New York City’s building code that took effect July 1.

Underneath the gyrations, demand is weakening. Sales of existing homes fell to a 10-year low in the second quarter, according to the National Association of Realtors. A third of all sales were foreclosures or “short sales,” in which lenders take a loss on a property.

Financing is also becoming tougher, a quarterly survey of banks by the Federal Reserve showed. Compared with the April survey, more of the loan officers polled reported they tightened standards on prime mortgage loans and on non-traditional loans.

The five largest U.S. homebuilders reported a combined $1.08 billion in losses in their most recent quarters.

Builders are pessimistic as losses mount. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo’s sentiment index yesterday showed optimism held at a record low in August for a second month.

Fellow Agents…clearly the best opportunity in this market is learning how to do Short Sales. You already know that they homes that are selling are the amazingly priced, buyer- bait Short Sale Listings. Grab your FREE Agent Short Sale Secrets 7 Part Book Now. Instant, free download NOW.

From Our Friends Over At RealTalk (Thanks Barbara!)

by Tim Harris on August 12, 2008

In case you have yet to discover Realtalk do yourself a favor and sign up. Some of the best Realtors frequent their discussion boards. Here is something that one of our students just posted about HREU…..

I have been with Harris Real Estate University for about 7 months now, and in my opinion, if you want to do short sales, than Harris Real Estate Univ. is the way to go. With live coaching when you need it, some type of on line class almost daily, and a website available to their students that has every form needed, they have helped me in a couple of very difficult situations. Their classes are all taped so you can hear them over and over again.
Don’t take my word for it, they offer a free web class every Wednesday. Just go on their website and you will get the information as to times in your area. I believe it’s 12:00 PST every Wednesday. (Sign Up Now www.AgentShortSaleSecrets.com)They also offer a complete coaching program for REOs, which I may sign up for after I complete my year long committment to their short sales program.

Nationally, if you’ve purchased your home in the past five years, there’s a one-in-three chance that you’re “underwater” on your mortgage.

That’s the study of U.S. home values conducted by Seattle’s Zillow.com, which indicated that the median U.S. home value has plummeted to a level not seen since the fourth quarter of 2004.

In the U.S., 29.1 percent of homeowners who purchased a home since 2003 owe more money on their home than what it’s worth, which is called being “underwater” on the mortgage. Some U.S. real estate markets are faring much worse. Nearly every buyer (95 percent) in the Stockton, Calif., market, for example, who bought a home in 2006 owes more money on their mortgage than what the home is worth. Zillow said home values in Stockton fell 38.2 percent this quarter from a year earlier.

In the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue market, it’s not as bleak. According to Zillow research, home values have appreciated 8 percent since 2003, although in the past year, home values fell 7.3 percent to a current home value of $355,945. According to Zillow, of the homeowners who bought in 2003, only 0.3 percent have negative home equity. But those who bought in 2007 aren’t faring so well, Zillow reports, with 27.9 percent of those buyers with negative home equity.
